Haynes manuals are always the best buy out there when it comes to car books. With this scooter book they have to cover so many brands and models that the instructions become a bit generic. It gives the basics, but you are left to find your own way to the specifics. It is much better than the laughable manual that comes with your scoot, which generally suffers from a language barrier (saying things like, "Done put scooter in fire, or it may burned up"). I was able to do a valve adjustment using this book, but I backed it up with several other sources. It IS better than no manual at all!

haynes you have done it again. i have been working on my own vehicles for a few years now and refer to the haynes manuals quite often. this book has saved me hundreds in repairs already, and has easily paid for itself in just working knowledge. while the vast array of scooters it covers is quite large, most chinese honda engine cloned scooters are quite similar. my scooter is not covered by brand in the model but i have just taken the owner's manual factory settings and applied them to the book. it makes life easy. if you dont have a clue with a wrench dont ape it. try reading an even more general guide first such as the haynes general motorcycle workshop series. all mechanical engines work in the same fashion- moving air. so if you cant find the exact model dont fret. chances are if its a honda clone (gy6) it will be covered here. this is my bedtime story book/bible.

If you mean to maintain a smallish scooter you should have this around. Lots of pics, you might not see yours exactly but you'll understand what you're lookin at. Lots of repair procedure how-to for 2-stroke and 4-stroke teardown and rebuild, frame, electrics testing, suspension, carburetor, body, wheels. You will know where to begin and if you should. Data (torques, carburetor adjusts, fluid capacities, ignition, gaps, etc.) for a dozen or so models with 2-stroke (49, 49.3, 49.4 (3 models), 49.8, 101.3cc) and 4-stroke (49.5 (5 models), 101, 124, 124.6 (4 models), 163cc) engines in the back. My make was'nt here but my 139QMB motor was. Lot of good shop method here. This Haynes manual a fine resource if you gonna work on your small scooter.

I got this for information on the GY6 scooter engine and it gave me what I was looking for.It is written for the UK so some terms or bike names may be different.It is a good manual to have but I recommend making sure through your manuals that came with your scooter that you are getting the right product numbers and etcedra.Good to have though if you want to keep your scooter in peek performance.

If you want to do maintenance or repair of a Chinese scooter, get this book. Since many of the Chinese brands have the same components it does not matter which one you have. The standard GY6 50 cc and 150 cc engines are covered in detail.

I bought this manual expecting the same part-by-part breakdown I've found in all Hayne's manuals. This thing is a waste of money. For anyone who has an internet connection, there is much more detailed information on YouTube and various scooter forums. The only reason I gave this two starts instead of one is because it might be of use for someone with no internet access. I'm not a scooter expert by any means. In fact, I've only owned my first one for 7 days. I haven't even started it yet. I do have it completely torn apart in the garage, and am doing a thorough inspection and adjustment of every component...all without any help from this repair manual. With help from the internet alone, I already know much, much more about how my scooter works than I would know if I memorized every single word of this manual.

I was a little disappointed that it took 3 weeks to get it from the seller. I am fairly shure I could have got it from my local autoparts store faster. Supposedly the seller was in Indiana, but the lable came from Mass. I sent them an Email and asked it it was sent by pony express. The response was it can take upto 15 days to ship blah blah blah. According to the tracking it was shipped withing 2 days of ordering. Hummmm. It dosent take a letter more than a week to cross the US.

Anyway, The book has pretty good consistency. They cant cover every Chinese scooter made as they apparently are all over. I have a 150cc Dong Fang (Sunny) Not in the book, but alot of the information is helpful.

My thing - buy it from a local autoparts or somewhere you can get it faster than 3-4 weeks.
